    Sushi is excellent, much of it flown in from Japan. They have a wide variety to choose from as well as many creative rolls combining flavors and fish that I have not seen before. Quality is excellent, fresh and melts in your mouth. The bonus is the dessert, worth coming for by themselves, the "rolls" are not to be missed.

    The sidewalk seating was the only downside of the experience. The food was delicious, the service outstanding, the noise comfortable, and the price great for the whole of it. More about the sidewalk seating… we were there at a time the sun was shining into the eyes of two of us. Our dining friends across the table didn't have this issue, but two of us were struggling even with sunglasses. Other than stepping into the restaurant to check in at the host stand, we didn't get to enjoy the atmosphere, which seemed at a quick glance to be terrific.

    Come for the food not the service. The hotsui roll might be the best thing I’ve ever had in my life! The miso soup and eggplant are other highlights. I’ve never had great service here, we sat at the bar this time around and the bartender was not friendly at all and not very attentive either. It took 10 minutes for his to greet us when we arrived, but it was a pretty busy night. I’ll be back anyway

    We waited 45-1 hour in between servings. We given 3/4 of order in quick succession however our last 2 rolls came out surprisingly late. We brought this to your attention but were pretty much ignored.
